To all, 

The Cuyahoga valley fall train ride schedule is in full swing! 

We are planning on riding as a group on Sunday 10/26. 

Who - Flatlanders and friends capable of riding 26 or so miles at a recreational pace of 12 to 16 MPH. 

What - Cuyahoga Valley scenic railway train ride to Akron - casual trail ride back with possible mid ride lunch stop.  

Where - Rockside station 7900 Rockside road, independence ohio 44131. 

When - 10/26 train leaves at 9AM, regular passenger seats have been selling out, recommended onsite 8AM. 

How - The ride north back from Akron is primarily a gravel trail - gravel (wider tire) bike recommended - fatbike, MTB, would work. 

The lowdown - Park at the rockside station and be ready to load by 8AM, stand by the tracks, see the conductor, have your bike, all gear you will need for the day (you will be riding the train in whatever you are choosing to ride in for the day), and $5 cash (no reservations required - first come first served) for your bike stow fee available. Snacks, additional $, recommended. Be aware this is a high use trail and we will be riding on a weekend day. 

See you there!
